Each year the entire family will follow one of the above schedules, selecting stories and activities the correlate with the theme. Young children will enjoy simpler stories and family discussion. Older students will have an opportunity to explore the subject in greater depth. Simply record the stories and activities you do each year, and as you spiral through the same calendar in following years, you may choose new stories and activities associated with the country or time period.

Instructions and resources for following the Monthly History Themes plan are available at​ Libraries of Hope
